I'm really hoping that GW2 will live up to its hype. And for first time in post-wow mmo-history, I am pretty certain that it will. I played GW1 before WoW and man that's really an amazing game. I really liked the primary plot in the game which took you around the world, the combat was very good and the graphics were amazing for a game that was released in 2005.

The only problem it had was the closed world, you could only meet other people in towns, it kinda sucked. Also, the level cap was only 20 and after that there wasn't much to do if you weren't a competitive PvP player. The PvP and the whole guild system was amazing in the game tho.

The thing with GW2's hype is it has grown as more people have become interested, and that's actually very different than any other pre-release MMO's hype.

People jumped on the Rift hype bandwagon overnight because they wanted a Wow alternative "now"
People jumped on the SWToR hype bandwagon before they knew anything about the game (OMG Bioware + Starwars = I R fanboi)

GW2 on the other hand is more like a hype bus slowly picking up people from each stop.
IMO, it shows that peoples interest in GW2 is more than just superficial. They didn't decide they like the game before they knew all the details, the more they read into the game, and the more they found out about the game, the more they liked it.

I find alot of truth to this post.
When I heard about SWTOR, I thought precisely as you described: "omg Bioware + Star Wars!" - and then I heard more and more hype about GW2 (and lemme tell you I never once thought about playing Guild Wars, ever) and checked some of the info out. And I just keep getting more and more excieted tbh.

Same thing happened to me, i didnt care anything about guild wars 2 even when i heard of guild wars 2 i didnt check it out like a year or so ago then i looked at it about a week ago and im hooked now.

Primary minions of the games "main" enemy. The dragon Zhaitan; not that the large dragon that appears is possibly Zhaitan himself or atleast one of his minions. (May also be Kralkatorrik the Crystal Dragon)

That is actually The Shatterer, a mid level event boss, he's just Kralkatorrik's lieutenant and champion.. Nothing important yet he is more epic than all the other bosses iv seen in other mmo's.

As stated, he's the shatterer. Kralkatorrik's lieutenant and champion.

Kralkatorrik is way bigger.
that's his back. Can't wait to see it ingame.
